Comments:

20 feet out of transition I had massive leg cramps. I had to stop put my bike in the ditch and stretch my legs. Left calf cramped were I could not ride. took about 2 mins to get it to relax. Then had to ride the first 3 miles slow to continue to stretch. It effected me the entire race.
What would you do differently?:

Take in a salt tablet to fight off cramps. and wear a wetsuit to help prevent cramping in cold water.

It was a bit slower than normal I was still cramping. Took in some extra nutrition to try and help.
